The two Republican members of a Detroit-area canvassing board changed their votes against certifying election results with little explanation after enduring nearly three hours of insults and intimidation, including mentions of their children.
Democrat Abraham Aiyash, who is representative-elect for Michigan’s State House District 4 after running unopposed, took aim at Wayne County Republican and canvassing board chairwoman Monica Palmer and brought up the school her children likely attend.
“You, Miss Monica Palmer from Grosse Pointe Woods, which has a history of racism, are deciding to enable and continue to perpetuate the racist history of this country. And I want you to think about what that means for your kids, who probably go to Grosse Pointe North,†Aiyash said, a reference to a public high school in Palmer’s neighborhood.
Aiyash, on Wednesday morning, claimed that he did not mean to expose private information about Palmer’s family maliciously.
